Welcome back Gardeners!

This week I asked my communities: Does THC make you Lazy or Unmotivated?

I honestly was surprised by the number of people in the responses who work in the industry and agreed with this stigma. Many in sales. I found that interesting.

When I write these polls every Monday, I try my best to just ask the question and not share my opinion in directly in the post. This week, I broke that and shared my opinion.

I sleep better, am more motivated to get shit done, I routinely set my running PRs while consuming, I routinely have no desire to workout at all until I consume, consuming allows me to take breaks from my ADHD meds and not become too dependent on them. The list goes on.

The poll ended up being lopsided but I did really enjoy everyone’s perspectives in the comments. Made for a very lively conversation, so thank you to all who participated!

I know this poll has been going for awhile now, I am just trying to leave it up for as long as possible to give as many people as possible the time to fill it out. So thank you to those who have responded, I am hoping to get the results out here in the next few weeks. I am conducting a little survey/research into people’s experiences with these beverages. If you have 2-4 minutes to complete this survey I would greatly appreciate it! I am waiting until I have a good representative amount of people to release any of the responses. So check it out, share it, etc.

In case you missed it, I just launched a new podcast with David Gonzalez and the third episode was released last week with Art Massolo. So be sure to subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get listen to podcasts. Also, be sure to rate us and maybe give the Youtube Channel a follow to if that’s your jam!
